I really enjoyed the Deaf Jam documentary because it very clearly explained Deaf culture and the reasons that it exists and is so important. Aneta explained the importance of her connection to her brother who is also deaf. Communication is such an important part of life for everyone so being able to have someone to communicate with in her native language of ASL. This idea also comes up in the article about Designing deaf babies. It makes sense that the couple wants a deaf child so their home can be fully immersed in Deaf culture and use ASL to communicate with eachother more comfortably.
